Vaultize Cloud-Based Backup With Encryption at Source

Vaultize, a product from Anoosmar Technologies, is removing an impediment to enterprise adoption of cloud-based backup by performing encryption of data at source.

While all cloud-based backup solutions perform encryption at the cloud server, Vaultize encrypts data at source before it leaves the device. Vaultize is the first one to do both encryption and de-duplication together at source.

"Once considered to be technologically impossible, global de-duplication and encryption together at source is now available in Vaultize," said Anand Kekre, CEO and Co-founder of Vaultize. "Because of rapid consumerization of IT along with increase in the number of events of data leak, security compromises and privacy breaches with consumer-based cloud backup, enterprises were seriously looking for something like this."

According to Ankur Panchbudhe, co-founder and CTO, "Vaultize is designed from the ground-up specifically for cloud with multiple levels of end-to-end security and privacy that no other solution provides. User data is encrypted using AES 256-bit encryption on user’s device itself using customer’s keys. Then it is transferred to the Vaultize cloud using 256-bit SSL and OAuth protection. Once it reaches our cloud, an additional level of encryption is added on already encrypted data before it is stored. Vaultize cloud servers are hosted in state-of-the-art cloud of Rackspace which is SAS 70 Type II, PCI DSS, ISO 27001 and Safe harbor compliant. All this comes without loosing any benefits like global smart de-duplication and compression."

Recently, Vaultize also announced ‘Group Sync’ – Dropbox-like file sharing and synchronization across users with enterprise-grade control and centralized administration.
 
It offers deployment options other than its default Rackspace hosting in the US to its enterprise customers. Enterprises can choose any other public cloud provider and any different geographical location. Additionally they can choose to deploy Vaultize in their own private cloud, data center, in a virtual private cloud or hybrid.

Vaultize pricing
Businesses are charged fee per GB computed on the storage consumed in cloud – calculated post de-duplication and compression. And, there is no user, device or feature licensing.
